Some years later…
On a college campus, some students were talking.
—Oh, here comes Kirishima-kun.
—Who?
—That’s that person walking over there.
—Oh, I know that person. He hardly ever goes to class, he’s a lazy student, isn’t he?
—I have heard that if you invite him to a party, he will rap and liven up the atmosphere.
—Oh, so he’s a party boy, huh?
—People say he always comes when we need more people to play mahjong.
—What an interesting guy!
—Besides, he seems to lose most of the time.
—I take back what I said.
—Everyone says he’s a super-confident person and easy to get along with. They even say that when he is alone with a girl, he never tries anything and tends to run away.
—Do you know if he has a girlfriend?
—He hasn’t had one since he started college. He seems to have an aversion to romance. Oh, but I heard a rumor recently that he has a girlfriend.
—I can confirm that’s true.
—Really?
—Yes, because I’m in the same class as Kirishima-kun. He told me so himself.
—Really? Then who is she? What is she like? What’s her name? What faculty are you in?
—I don’t remember her name… I think her last name was Tachibana… I remember that! She’s Miyuki Tachibana, a high school student.
